Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth, coordinated aileron inputs to keep the wings level during the climb.
What happened: Bank angle increased during the second climb stage, excessive for a wings-level climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator and keep bank angle near zero.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.8° against the runway's 3°, centreline 1.2° off, against a 1° limit and speed 20 kt FAST on the reference speed of 92 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,219 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,219 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 198 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 24, a movement that lasted 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24 at 8S0 Starr-Browning, the takeoff distance was 544 m (44 % of the runway) and liftoff occurred at 99 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, wind 6 kt from 270°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt headwind.
A level cruise segment began overhead 8S0 Starr-Browning and continued for 8 minutes, during which 32 nm were flown.
Climbing commenced 11 miles west of 7S7 Valier, with altitude increasing from 4,402 ft asl to 5,043 ft asl (a gain of 641 ft) in 2 minutes while covering 6 nm.
The next cruise phase started 11 miles south-west of 7S7 Valier and lasted 3 minutes, covering 13 nm.
Descent began 13 miles north-west of KCII Choteau Airport, descending from 4,835 ft asl to 4,371 ft asl (a loss of 464 ft) in 2 minutes over 6 nm.
A further cruise segment originated 7 miles north-west of Choteau and continued for 3 minutes, covering 12 nm.
Climbing resumed 2 miles south of Choteau, with altitude rising from 4,524 ft asl to 5,274 ft asl (an increase of 750 ft) in 2 minutes while traveling 6 nm.
The aircraft then cruised 8 miles south of Choteau for 17 minutes, covering 50 nm.
Another climb started 9 miles south-west of 55MT Missouri River Ranch, gaining 764 ft from 4,516 ft asl to 5,280 ft asl in 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
A short cruise followed 8 miles north of MT96 Wilhelm Airstrip, lasting 3 minutes and encompassing 11 nm.
Descent began 3 miles north-west of 1MT4 Lonewood Meadows Airport, dropping from 4,975 ft asl to 4,259 ft asl (a loss of 716 ft
The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco established a final approach to runway 17 at Townsend (8U8) from the north, tracking a heading of 180.0° at 2 nm and 366 ft AGL while the ambient temperature was 15 °C and wind was 6 kt from 269° with a 6 kt cross-component and no headwind.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below target at 82 kt.
Touchdown occurred 197 m down the runway at a speed of 74 kt, both described as good, with a firm touchdown rate of -332 fpm and a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 5.1 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance measured 651 m, representing 53 % of the 1,219 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.1 m from the centreline.
With a final score of 90.9 %, the landing was strong; refining the approach speed to meet the exact target and tightening centreline alignment during touchdown and rollout will further improve precision.
